- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
I am completely obsessed with and LOVE cars, therefore it's only natural that I take pictures of them right? Well it just so happens that black is my favorite color for cars, especially nice ones. I did a photo shoot with one of my friend recently (We will both be attending RIT next year, hopefully....) and his BMW which is black.
I was looking for any insight into how to make dark colored vehicles stand out and what I like to call "POP" out in low light photo situations. Keep in mind that my resources as far as equipment are limited to some extent, however my post processing resources are not... Take a look and tell me what you think.
C.C. Only please!

Strobist (1st and 3rd photos): 1 SB 600, behind car 1/8th power. 1 SB 600, Camera right full power but using built in diffuser. And one Cheap-o Sunpak flash set up as an optical slave, camera left. Full Power.
